"And Jonas was beginning to be fightened. No.."
- I can connect to this because I know how it feels like to be frightened, "that deep, sickening feeling of something terrible about to happen." as Jonas was feeling. Like when I do risky things that I know are bad and will have bad consequences, I feel exactly the same way.

"He didn't often do his volunteer hours with friends because Asher frequently fouled around and made serious work a little difficult."
- I can connect to this because I'm the same way. I can' do anything serious or important with friends because most of the time instead of doing what I'm supposed to do I goof off with my friends. Like one time my friend came over my house but my mom said she could only come if we do our homework. We said we would bt we didn't. We were goofing off instead. So my mom got mad at me after she left.

- I can connect to this because I know how it feels to have to wear something that you dont want to, like Lily because
one day my mother tried to make me wear a school shirt and I did not want to wear. Like how Lily did not want to wear the ribbon
when her mother told her to because she thought people were going to talk about her.

- I can connect to Lily when she had to aplolgize to her community because she made a big mistake even though she did not want to do it but she did because she knew she did something wrong. If that was me I would aplolgize too because if i knew I did something wrong or made a mistake I would of aplogize to my community even though I wouldn't want to.

- I can connect to this because when Jonas woke up in the morning his mom asked him if he slept well and if he had good dreams. When I wake up in the morning my mom always asks me the same think like Jonas' mom asked him.
